7. Richard Branson on traditional tasks vs. real tasks
“I'd probably fail school exams if I took them
today. Remembering loads of facts and figures,
and getting them on paper quickly has always
been a nightmare for me. But exams don't
measure skills like reasoning, exploring,
communicating and positively influencing -
essential skills that the world needs.”
